Imarni

Always a delight, Imarni has been going strong since 2005 and is undeniably a beauty salon with charm.

Zen

Transcending beyond the rest, Zen dominates the Edinburgh beauty brigade with locations in Bruntsfield Place, Hanover Street and Teviot Place. From the otherworldly furnishings and contemporary futuristic vibes, you can’t get much sleeker. Those who have a brow thing going on will become obsessed with the HD Brows option — an ingenious fusion of threading, waxing, shaping and tinting to create some stellar brow game. Although there is absolutely nothing wrong with a bit of extra flesh, those who prefer to slim down can try the non-invasive endermologie lipo massage, which helps remove cellulite. There is also a myriad of mani-pedi, medical cosmetic, massage, facial, hair removal, tanning and epic spa day packages, too.
